can I work with Microsoft Commerce server, catalog API , with Windows Service Application

I worked before with "Microsoft Commerce server 2007" and used it's Catalog API to get products data in my web site. But I have a requirement to make a windows service that uses the commerce product catalog data, but I don't know how to adjust the APP.Config of this service to get data.

Every time I try commerce code it returns Null "CommerceContext.Current"== null

any Idea or sample config?

Solution

  • You need to create a CatalogContext object in Local or Agent mode. See How to Create a CatalogContext Object for details.

    CommerceContext.Current is only non-null when running in the context of an ASP.NET web application.
